My needs are much simpler and I am overly paranoid about losing images (particularly considering their value. I am a wannabe gifted snap shooter. ;) I have a shell script that copies images form the source into directories structured ~/Pictures/yyyy/mm/dd/ according to exif data of if that's not there, it uses file time stamp. From there I manually copy to a working directory in ~/Pictures/yyyy-mm-dd_Subject_or_Event/ and perform any post processing there. I have script (just an rsync command, actually) that copies the files to my NAS on demand and my NAS backs itself up nightly to another NAS at my son's place. (Both NASs are Atom based systems running Ubuntu Server so I have full programming capabilities on them.) Nevertheless, before I delete a card, I copy the entire contents somewhere "just in case." I'm happy to hear that you were able to recover the deleted pictures. IMO disk space is so cheap these days it does not pay to not have some redundancy built into the work flow. Eventually I will delete some of the pictures on the local PC if I need the space. best, hank -- '03 BMW F650CS - hers '98 Dakar K12RS - "BABY K" grew up. '93 R100R w/ Velorex 700 (MBD starts...)
